It was many, many years ago
In a prison owned by he
That I once lived in
I am Annabel Lee

I was a child and he was a child
Belonging to the same family as thee
My mere cousin had a love that was more than love for me

The devil as happy as can be
Forced the hand of mine into that of thee
I, in a quandary of why he wanted me
Was forced me to live in the prison owned by thee

Edgar always tried to seduce me
Scaring me into the darkest depths of the sea
Why I ask was I forced to marry thee
My cousin who had a love that was more than love for me

A chill once blew through my window killing me
Helping me escape this prison owned by thee
Now resigning in the heavens above thee
There lies Annabel Lee
